Review by Sean Paradis

Up until acquiring this product last month, I had used the 2011 edition of Sage Peachtree. I loved it. The set up was simple for my small business. Based in NH, I did not have to worry about the tax element of the program. But after two years, I felt it was time to update my software. I have an associates degree in accounting, so I did not need it for the technical aspect, just the update.

Besides a couple screen layout changes, I really did not notice a heck of a lot of changes. Certainly not any changed to justify the price. When I found out that the program required the payroll subscription yearly to operate, I decided to uninstall and go back to my old software. I am a sole proprietor, and play both owner, and the only employee. I do not need payroll software.

If you have a large company with multiple employees it sounds like this program will work for you. But for small businesses, especially sole proprietors, I would use a different software. This just is not meant for business owners like myself. If you have a knowledge of accounting and just want a software to create inventory control and bank statements, I would look into buying the 2011 edition of peachtree. By now you can find it for a low price, and it works well.
